Erwin Schulhoff, a talented Austro-Czech composer in the generation after Mahler, fought in World War I and incorporated jazz in his compositions as the ultimate protest music of the 1920s. Dmitri Shostakovich, similarly defiant, used recurrent themes and sharp transitions to capture the tightening of a society closing in on itself in his String Quartet No. 7.

Tickets can be purchased to this show alone or attend the whole night and save by coming to “Return to Liederland: Mahler Six, Drugs, & Rock ‘n’ Roll” at 9PM. Pizza will be available between the shows.
